Minutes of May 19,2005. Jon Westerlund motioned and Chris Seeman seconded the motion to approve. Motion carried. Engineer Report: Rob Anderson reviewed the warranty punch list and noted that approximately half of it had been addressed, but that there were some discrepancies with what the contractor feels has been completed and what the engineer is approving as completed. He noted that they would continue to work through those items. Lengthy discussion then took place concerning the Corbel and the method of repair needed. Rob advised the Committee that the engineer is not satisfied with how John T. Jones proposed to fix the cracks in the floor of the Corbel. Rob stated that supposedly there are products that can handle the pressure, and have directed the contractor to contact some vendors and then tell ASCG how they intend to proceed. Joe Fuqua then stated that he has had continuing problems with the digesters tripping off. Joe stated that he tried to do sludge today, and neither digester will start. Joe noted that Brown's Hill has recommended that we buy two soft starts at approximately $2,000 each. Rob Anderson noted that the engineer has contacted the manufacturer directly for .ocumentation, and also stated that this issue would be added to the warranty list and that JTJ will be advised that this needs to be addressed immediately as it does affect the operation of the plant. Vince Turner asked Rob Anderson if we are dealing with faulty construction, at which Rob stated that the Corbel construction was "probably poor." Several Committee members noted frustration with the engineers handling of the project and the additional related costs. It was noted that there needed to be some finality to dealing with the same issues and get some solutions to the problems. Ingle Refvem felt that the Committee should formulate a decision with regards to what direction all of these issues would take and that the JFOC needed to get control of the situation. The Committee then discussed concerns with lack of improvement shown in repairs to the concrete. Although it was noted that ASCG states the concrete is structurally sound, the Committee expressed some concern with the integrity of the concrete in the long term. The Committee agreed that John Walker and Joe Fuqua would work together to find a company who can provide an inspection and opinion as to the condition ofthe concrete. In the meantime, John Walker will send a letter to John T. Jones with notice that the defects are still present and that they are required to fulfill their obligations as directed in Change Order 16. The matter will be reviewed again at the next JFOC meeting to see where it stands and to decide where to go from here. Manager Report. Joe noted that the plant itself is working well with removal rates consistently at 98-99%. He noted that the State requirement is 85%. Flows have been up to 1.4 million gallons, with peaks in April and May. Joe also noted that the State dropped limits for ammonia. Joe noted that the State still has not completed their review and approval for the discharge permit, but that there should not be any issues as all we have been well within the limits identified. The Grand County Commissioners granted an approval for the amended landscape work and agreed to the extension to October 1st for completion of the project without any conditions. ýÿ Joe provided an update on repair work resulting from the sludge spill last January. He noted that the electrical repairs are mostly done. With regards to the roof, several concerns were discussed. Joe advised the Committee that the link seal had not been installed as specified in the construction plans and that John T. Jones stated they are not responsible. Joe had a Question about possibly leaving the roofing materials off of the digester lids to see if the levels of humidity and water mdensation would improve. After some discussion, it was agreed that the roof should be restored to its original design because of warranty issues. There was also brief discussion about adjusting the scuppers to allow for better drainage off the roof. It was felt that this would probably be considered a change order rather than a repair and the Committee directed Joe to review the matter with the engineer and then to contact the roofing contractor for the additional cost. Attorney Report. John Walker discussed the status of the well permits with the Committee. He noted that one well is permitted, but that the other is still waiting completion of a well completion report that needs to be submitted to the State. He noted that there is a 2 year time frame in which the well completion report for the remaining well needed to be done and felt there would be minimal risk in waiting to proceed with the report. After brief discussion the Committee agreed that the matter would be reviewed again later in the year. Board Choice: Rob Anderson advised the Committee that he would not be available for the August 18, 2005 meeting and requested that the meeting be delayed for one week. The Committee agreed to postpone the meeting to August 25, 2005. With no other matters presented, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30pm with a motion by Chris Seeman and seconded by Jon Westerlund. Motion carried. ~(';C~ 1\\~(kJ( 1l</r< Secretary 2 ýÿ
